According to my latest pricing list it has....
Windows 95 + MS PLUS! + MS Press CD (OEM)
Windows 95 + MS Press CD (OEM)
Now where is OS/2 on this list??...it isn't there. Once again, I am going 
to say that this isn't an advocation for 95. I am just getting sick of 
flames about this, I AM TRYING TO SUPPORT OS/2, I AM TRYING TO GET MY 
FACTS RIGHT, and all you people continue to do is flame me. No wonder 
OS/2 isn't the contolling operating system as it should have been, with 
it's users just continuing to argue about nothing all the time.

What is Team OS/2?? I mean I put my name down about 2 years ago on the 
Team OS/2 web site, but what do you guys actually do, I mean reading a 
lot of the posts in this lists you kinda support the product, but the 
greater of the posts is bagging 95, wouldn't having 100% support of OS/2 
and little bagging of 95 be more beneficial don't you think. Anyway, that 
is just my 2c, take it or leave it. Personally I will continue to support 
OS/2 (with no support from here) and continue to support 95 just as I 
always have.
